A scene from work:
Them: I think something's wrong with my laptop. It keeps crashing and stuff.
Me: Well, I'd be happy to take a look at it. Just bring it by.
<another day>
Them: My laptop keeps crashing and stuff.
Me: OK, bring it over and I'll see what I can do. Maybe you could leave it for a couple hours?
Them: I kinda busy, but you can have it in a couple days.
Scene from home:
Miss Dallas: I want to set up this neat software I read about on the Internet but I can't get it to work.
Me: OK, let's take a look.. umm.. OK... yeah, this is the problem....
<software troubleshooting proceeds>
Me: OK, here you go. It's all working.
Miss Dallas: This is lame. I thought it would be cooler than this. Never mind.
